Looking grrreat! Kylie Minogue is stunning in leopard print coat as she greets fans - and even signs a bandaged wrist

The cat's whiskers: Kylie Minogue looked stunning in a leopard print coat as she signed autographs for fans in Sydney

Kylie Minogue she was just a pussycat last night as she took the time to undertake a meet and greet with her fans before a show in Sydney last night.

The Love At First Sight singer was wearing a stylish cape-style leopard coat as she signed autographs ahead of her gig at at the city's Entertainment Centre - and at one point even autographed the bandage on a fan's arm.

The 43-year-old was certainly feline fine in the cold of the Australian winter in the coat.

It's a chilly-for-Sydney 15°C and cloudy, with rain on the way - not exactly barbie weather.

The star was wrapped up warm in the cosy drape-fronted fake fur coat, which was scarily realistic.

She teamed the jacket with skintight black jeans and knee-high black boots.

The coat is clearly a favourite of Kylie's.

She was first seen wearing it last December back home in London.

But the stylish star has got it back out of her wardrobe again as she's it's currently winter in her homeland, where she's playing the Australian leg of her Aphrodite tour.

She said her was thrilled be back home too, telling local journalists: 'I definitely get a little more excited and a little nervous, and I just try to make that work in my favour,' she said.

'In my mind it is [a tougher crowd to play] sometimes but I'm at home and there is so much love and joy and everything great about being home.'

Despite basing herself in London for much of the past two decades, Kylie says she could never choose between her adopted and native homes.

'If it had to choose to be the other side of the world and that was it, I don't know if I could do that,' she said.

'My life is on both sides of the world, travel is the way it is at the moment.'

Earlier this week, the star was greeted with a flashmob of fans singing I Should Be So Lucky to her as she arrived at Sydney's Wildfire restaurant, where she played a surprise semi-acoustic set, which you can watch below.
